Easy Tips for Cutting Back on Alcohol Without Missing Out
Making mindful choices around drinking doesn’t mean saying no to every social occasion. Here are some easy ways to cut back on alcohol while still enjoying yourself:
Set Simple Goals: Think about what you really want. Are you looking to cut back on alcohol, or maybe try a month of going alcohol-free? Whatever your goals are, setting intentions will help you stay on track.
Try Non-Alcoholic Options: Here’s where Missing Thorn comes in! Our alcohol-free wines are designed to give you all the flavor and richness of traditional wine without the alcohol. It’s the perfect way to enjoy wine culture while staying mindful of your drinking habits.
Bring Your Own Drink: When you’re heading to a party or dinner, bring a bottle of Missing Thorn with you. You won’t have to worry about finding an alcohol-free option, and you can sip something that feels just as luxurious and delicious as the real thing.
Stay Hydrated: Consider zebra striping (where you alternate between an alcoholic then a non-alcoholic option), or sip on water throughout the event — it’ll help you pace yourself and feel better the next day.
Find Your Tribe: Whether it’s through online communities or your close friends, find people who are on the same journey. It can be really motivating to have others supporting you.
